misspelled word not flagged
Is there a time when Word will stop spell/grammar checking in a document? If
so, under what circumstances? I came across a 1 page Word document I did not author. Under my Tools Options Ignore words in Uppercase is NOT selected. So, Word should flag Uppercase typos. Yet, when I open the 1 page file, I can see plain as day a misspelled word that is in all caps that W97 is NOT flagging with the red wavy underline. The paragraph style that is associated with the word is set to use US English. When I select the misspelled word and press F7, Word suggests the correct word spelling and indicates in the dialogue box that US English is the dictionary the word is set to. Thereafter, I do get the red wavy underlining for the word. I act as quality control for our team. Please advise if there is something I need to be aware of. |

misspelled word not flagged
Is "Hide spelling errors in this document" checked on the Spelling & Grammar
tab of Tools | Options? If not, it could be that the word has been "ignored." Clicking the "Recheck Document" button in that dialog would unmark it, but if a regular spell check finds the word, it's more likely that spelling errors are hidden.
